very very strange shot, but the colors are pretty great.
06/29/2002 08:10:00 PM
Excellent shot, perfect execution.
06/28/2002 09:45:00 PM
That's pretty bizarre. Nice colors, but scary subject.
06/28/2002 03:55:00 PM
Great colors, scary but true message
06/28/2002 02:25:00 PM
good photo, nice colors... but does it meet the challenge? I'm not seeing much "life"
06/28/2002 10:39:00 AM
sad but true......
06/28/2002 12:19:00 AM
i don't get it
06/27/2002 09:18:00 PM
This sure is bizarre. What was it doing there?
06/27/2002 02:05:00 PM
This is disturbing ... the lighting is wondeful, and the dof is great... I just dont understand it
06/27/2002 09:07:00 AM
Quite a statement. Good composition including the busy background to add to confusion and chaos of the city and of decisions people make. Low to the ground says "this is low, nasty, and in the gutter" to do it. Maybe I'm putting my own feelings into it, but, isn't that what a photo should do? Elicit emotions? Nice job.
06/27/2002 08:07:00 AM
eye catching
06/27/2002 01:16:00 AM
Don't forget to expel the little air bubbles...

Interesting shot! Top 3.

Very interesting shot, a bit contrived, but cool none the less. (I'm not up with the "in" injectables, but I am assuming these are colored water). The only small nit I have is the overly strong contrast between the railroad tie (very dark) and the building straight back (very pale). Photo 10 City 9 total 9

I wasn't sure what to think at first but it is pretty powerful.

scary picture.interesting statement. the syringes look cool. the background not as cool. maybe a fill flash could have avoided over exposing the bg
06/26/2002 12:18:00 PM
Well thought out image, the primary colours work very well, especially with the green post in the background
06/26/2002 09:49:00 AM
Great use of color, great idea, great planning. Trying to get your rather cryptic and possibly dark description of city life here, but I'm not sure I want to know what you were thinking. IT's a great photo though. Neat idea.
06/26/2002 04:22:00 AM
powerful image, but terrible how the cities are getting like this
06/25/2002 11:51:00 PM
When I first saw this, I thought they were statues, but I guess not. Interesting concept, but the mood of the syringes doesn't match that of the rest of the picture in my mind. They seem too clean, fresh, new.
06/25/2002 11:49:00 PM
That is a very cool piece of artwork, well photographed. I love your strong colours, which seem to have been turned up in post processing. Good decision :) The elements in the background also establish exactly the right context.
06/25/2002 09:51:00 PM
definitely cool-bizzare, maybe a bit off topic?
06/25/2002 07:34:00 PM
im afraid i didnt get this one.
06/25/2002 06:06:00 PM
Interesting set up, nice quality on the syringes, the background's washed out and that doesn't work for me
06/25/2002 09:39:00 AM
Excuse me while I go lock up my kid... Great lines and color. Scary
06/25/2002 03:08:00 AM
I love creative photos. Not sure I totally get the message but who cares if I like it."8".Dogman ;-)
06/24/2002 10:24:00 PM
I love this picture! Great colors, focus, subject...it's perfect. I even like the harsh light on the white building in the background. 10.
06/24/2002 08:46:00 PM
I very much like this. The color is really great. Yet...I don't know. I'm not sure of the message. Still a great photo and creative and definately artistic!!
06/24/2002 08:00:00 PM
hmmm
06/24/2002 06:56:00 PM
Very well done and extremely creative!
06/24/2002 04:57:00 PM
Even though I don't particularly like the theme of this photo, I think it's set up very well and the colors are excellent. The depth of field is right on... The upper portion of the frame is little over exposed... :) = 7 - jmsetzler
06/24/2002 03:54:00 PM
Excellent shot(s)
06/24/2002 03:46:00 PM
Good set up and use of colors. I like how the four needles are so bright and crisp and the background is washed out a little. Definitely an interesting use of needles. :-)
06/24/2002 03:03:00 PM
Kool-Aid in a syringe? Normally I'd say "Where is the life?" but I can see it implied in this photo. The muliple colors are a little weird but a nice touch.
06/24/2002 01:07:00 PM
What a visual! Would of liked it better with just three (odd number) syringes but the colors are super. Maybe a tad bit dark. Nicely done, good job. Kee
06/24/2002 12:29:00 PM
whatta hell is that? look nice, but ? : )
06/24/2002 11:51:00 AM
doing drugs shooting up?
06/24/2002 11:48:00 AM
Great commentary!
06/24/2002 04:17:00 AM
nice colours
06/24/2002 04:11:00 AM
Artistic, interesting.. bright colors.. pretty good
06/24/2002 02:13:00 AM
what does this have to do with city life?
06/24/2002 12:42:00 AM
Sadly, this is what a lot of the cities have turned to. GREAT color and clarity
